Celebrating Women and Their Stories: Honoring Women’s History Month

March is a special month—a time to celebrate Women’s History Month and honor the incredible achievements, resilience, and contributions of women throughout history. As someone who loves writing about women helping each other through life’s milestones, this month feels especially meaningful to me.

In my books, the bond between women is a recurring theme, starting with my first story featuring Aunt Tee in 222 Redemption Lane. Aunt Tee believed in the power of connection and organized an event specifically so her nieces could reconnect. That one act set the tone for something I’ve carried through every one of my stories: the importance of women supporting, mentoring, and inspiring each other.

The theme of friends as mentors and inspiration is at the heart of my writing. Whether it’s a seasoned friend offering wisdom, a community rallying around someone in need, or sisters rediscovering the strength of their bond, these relationships are the soul of my stories.

It’s also something I’ve experienced firsthand. The women in my life have always been there to give me that little nudge when I’ve wanted to do something but didn’t quite have the confidence. Together, we’ve competed in Spartan Races, danced just because, and—my favorite—worked together to bring sweet, clean romance stories to readers like you. These moments remind me of the incredible power of encouragement and the joy that comes from shared experiences.

Women’s History Month is a perfect time to celebrate these connections. Behind every groundbreaking achievement or quiet triumph, there’s a network of women cheering, guiding, or simply standing by. It’s a beautiful reminder that milestones are rarely reached alone—and that lifting each other up can make all the difference.

This month, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the women who’ve impacted your life. Who has lifted you up during your milestones? Who are the women you’ve cheered on in return?

Let’s celebrate these connections and milestones and the incredible women who make them possible. If you’d like, share your stories in the comments—I’d love to hear about the inspiring women in your life.

Until next time, let’s continue to honor, support, and celebrate each other.
